"Now, Kathleen," said he, when preparing for his immediate departure, "I'm, thinkin' of what they'll say, when they see, me so smooth an' warm-lookin'. I'll engage they'll be axin' one another, 'Musha, how, did Owen M'Carthy get an, at all, to be so well to do in the world, as he appears to be, afther failin' on his ould farm?"

She was at her evening post in the upper hall. The lamp was lighted, the prayer had been said. "Dear Lord, I beseech thee, protect all souls at sea this night; for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen!"
"It do beat me!" he said, slapping one corduroy-trousered leg vehemently "It do beat me altogether it do reely now!
